    VMware and Windows 7 in UEFI mode


    Hello!

    I found one option on VMware VM config file that I can enable UEFI mode on VM.

    Did anyone try to setup this and what is requirements for that ?
    Do I need USB memory to install it on VM or I can use .iso file, what I need to do ?

    (Note : My Host OS is NOT in UEFI mode, is this problem?)

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi.

    I know that. I enter "firmware = "efi"" in my VM file but I have a problem.

    I follow step 11 from UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows.

    Can I just with oscdimg.exe make ISO file and use it ? I try that, mount it to VM (from VMware) but when that try to boot I got error. There is no error just unsuccessful and countinue to try to boot from network.

    What I did wrong and how to boot from that ISO file ?

    Thank you in advance.

    I know that. I have UEFI on my VM but that VM donsen't want to boot from my ISO file.
    I don't know what to do next. I have UEFI, VM is configured but unbootable from ISO.

    Iso file is fresh, I tried Win8 too but no luck.

    If someone tried that : Can you write steps how to make it work ?

    Thanks in advance.
